so your big on socialism huh


Isn't socialism where the government owns the means to production (capital) vs capitalism (private ownership of capital)?

I don't see how the government buying goods, lowering interest rates (they're already at or near 0 now), lowering taxes, giving stimuluses, etc is socialism.

The corporations don't have to sell the goods and services to the government, but I don't see why they wouldn't if they were rational and selfish beings.
